Beginner question

[Steven Verbelen]

Hello everyone!

I just started prepare myself for the 1ZO-808 Exam.
I'm doing one of the first exercises in the book and I already need your help :s
I created C:\\temp\packagea\ClassA.java and C:\\temp\packageb\ClassB.java. When I want to compile in the cmd screen I get the following error:
"'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I don't understand why he's not compiling.

Can anyone help?

Brgds,
Steven

Steven, is great that you started preparing for the OCA 1Z0-808 exam.
If you have not done so already you may want to look at the OCA Wall of Fame
https://coderanch.com/wiki/659980/Ocajp-Wall-Fame
to see what resource people have used and how they've prepared for the exam in question.

Aside from your book you have you look into the Enthuware OCA 1Z0-808 question bank after you have gone through the book once or twice.

Welcome again

I would suggest you need a lot of experience for that exam, so maybe you shouldn't sit it before next Spring.

Thank you!
Actually I wrote already a full working program in java with the help of netbeans. Now I wanna switch to a full time programming job so that's why i decided to get all the details right about java and get the needed certificates.
I hope to pass the exam in januari or februari.
